If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

I always thought that Orchids were the Queen of the flowers SEA. I think it was because they were so expensive and drove the ladies wild. I think this memory comes from watching too many movies as a lad.
After seeing this photo, I think my thoughts were correct.
Great FF post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

--- are they from your garden ---

Hi Laura,

Unfortunately not. Growing orchids is a profession in itself. This photograph was taken at a grower where I was allowed to photograph his collection. I've already submitted earlier photos from this photo shoot, and will do, from time to time, so more often in the future.

Best regards, Cornelius
